I am getting exactly the same problem - using the iPlayer plugin. I play an iPlayer "live" or "play it again" stream for a few minutes fine and then it suddenly stops. I press play again and it says it can't fine the stream. Repeating this immediately makes no difference. After a couple of minutes the problem rectifies itself and I can carry on streaming. How frequently it happens varies. Sometimes it will stream for 30 - 40 minutes without a problem and other times it will happen every 5 minutes. I have no problems using the Tunein radio streams or streaming music files from my server. I did notice once that the indicator light on the front of the Reciever flashed blue for a second when it cut out. Normally that would indicate disconnection from the LMS server, but presumably that could also indicate disconnection from the BBC server?
